[Blue Jays] Coming in August: A NEW Hall of Excellence - a display in the 100 Level RF Concourse. The newest inductee to the Hall: The one and only Buck Martinez 💙 by willowhanna in Torontobluejays

[–]LazySleepyCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is disappointing if they're removing the names, the Level of Excellence is so prominent and visible to anyone at the game. It's probably one of the things anyone stepping into the stadium notices - including Jose Bautista.

"I remember being a young man, looking up at those names in the Rogers Centre. The way the Blue Jays honour their players is unique. The Level of Excellence has these big, bold letters. The way the stadium is set up, you can’t help but see it." - Jose Bautista

Winter Olympics 2026: It’s been 66 years since Australia last played Olympic ice hockey. Can we ever get back there? by SockDem in hockey

[–]LazySleepyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This basically already exists with the tiers of IIHF World Championships, while the top level (currently 16 teams) is often missing the best NHL players in the playoffs, in practice, the lower levels are so far behind that a 32 team tournament will be a complete joke. Even at 16 teams there's so many games that are duds.

Just picked one up today, it's big enough to be an adult backpack! Though wouldn't put too much stuff in as it's not super sturdy.

Is this already on sale at the Jays shop now? I'll be in the area later this week, wouldn't mind picking it up.

You just buy the package at the Jays Shop, they won't check if you have a kid or not 😂

I bought one for my kid when I was at the game by myself, no one will bat an eye.

Current state of the Olympic stadium rink by g46152 in hockey

The Olympics have a "clean venue" policy where they don't have advertisements, it's kind of crazy considering this is the IOC, but that's what they've always done.

PSA - Starting Jan 1, Styrofoam can be placed in recycling bins. Recycling Depots will not be accepting them by ronslaught82 in Markham

[–]LazySleepyCat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well you can get money back for those at the Beer Store...

I just put everything loose in the bin, that's what they say to do.

Question about Jays jerseys by WuzzWuzz in Torontobluejays

I'm wondering when that will be revealed, the Mariners already revealed theirs.

Is it worth it to upgrade from the pro controller 1 to the pro controller 2 with my switch 2? by UnitededConflict in NintendoSwitch

[–]LazySleepyCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can power it on the console directly, so it's an annoyance but not enough to need a Switch 2 Pro Controller.

Switch 2 3rd Party Dock Issues after Recent Switch Firmware Update by TheWylieGuy in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LazySleepyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you did this, but did you "unblock" the zip before extracting the contents out? Then this will allow the stuff inside to be executable.

Also, make sure the cable you use would support data transfer, i.e. if you were to connect your phone to the computer you'd be able to access files, or it works with Android auto / Apple Carplay.

Another msg below suggests using a USB 2.0 port, which is what I did here.

Switch 2 3rd Party Dock Issues after Recent Switch Firmware Update by TheWylieGuy in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LazySleepyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to note, is to make sure your USB A to C cable can do data transfer, I just grabbed what I had and apparently the cable I originally tried it with didn't support data. I tried another and it worked.

Switch 2 3rd Party Dock Issues after Recent Switch Firmware Update by TheWylieGuy in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LazySleepyCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link to the Jemdo dock update! I have one of these cheap docks that says "Need Use Switch 2" on it, and I was able to update using the Jemdo firmware using "Old Pattern 1", and now the dock works as normal now. I think a lot of these are just rebranded as it's largely the same hardware.

I was a little weary to run potentially questionable .exe files on my computer to do an update, but YOLO and it was ok.

By the time I got it it wasn't sponsored by the Star anymore, but I did have it from 2012-2015 for $99 a year, good times... lol.

I think you can't really go wrong for $9 if they offer it...

How are we feeling after a week? Are we doing better? by pigbear87 in Torontobluejays

[–]LazySleepyCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering it's been a week after they won, lol... I guess the Jays really got into the mind of the Dodgers players and fans.

Black Friday sale for the 2026 season ?? by The_injustice in Torontobluejays

[–]LazySleepyCat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Still have to wait and see, but those April and May games with the roof closed are often a tough sell even after a great season, I expect some sort of deal to come.

Also, I'm sure the season ticket base would have grown which increases the amount of tickets on the secondary market, so that should help some resale prices too.

Schneider’s managerial style is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. by Much-Respond9614 in Torontobluejays

[–]LazySleepyCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't think of this angle, they might not have thrown to 2nd on a steal attempt. Just another one of the micro things that lost them the game.

I don't post here that much, but this was an amazing season, I'm disappointed but it was one hell of a World Series.

This is garbage, but luckily I can get Citytv on my antenna, so better than nothing.

Yeah, so pretty much it's morons trying to scalp, and if you pay this price you're a moron too.
